Pace yourself. If you’re doing it right, the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship is a long, but rewarding, week of golf—whether you’re a competitor or a fan watching at home. The eventual winner of the Walter Hagen Cup will have battled through seven individual matches over five days, including back-to-back double sessions of single-elimination play on Saturday and Sunday at Austin Country Club.
For that effort, however, the last player(s) standing will be substantially rewarded. The overall prize money payout for this WGC event is $12 million with the last man standing earning $2.1 million. Reach the finals and you’re guaranteed a seven-figure payday. Make it to Sunday’s semifinals and it will be worth more than a half-million dollars.
Below is the prize money payout for each golfer at this week’s Match Play. While things are listed as paydays for individual places, those who do not advance out of group play are actually paid based on home many points they earned in the first three days of round-robin golf. The breakdown depends on how many earn various point totals (2 points, 1.5, 1, .5, and 0). We’ll update these totals with specific individual player names and money earn as the tournament moves on.
